Olympics 2024 Betting - Australia Medal Odds
With the 2024 Olympics on the horizon, we have looked at the outright medals betting markets and Australia’s odds for a successful Games in Paris.
Australia’s Gold Medal Odds
Betting on the number of gold medals Australia will get is a popular choice with punters in the outright Olympics betting odds.
Australia has a brilliant record at swimming at the Olympics but other events like athletics, Olympic cycling, rowing, and Olympic basketball can again provide some golden moments in Paris. This market is usually an over/under market as you will see below:

| Over 13.5 | ||
| Under 13.5 |
Most Medals Betting
As well as betting on how many gold medals one particular nation will win at the Olympics, you can also bet on the country you think will get the most medals overall – both combined medals and the most gold medals. Here is a look at the top 10 in each of those markets.
Most Gold Medals Odds
This is about picking the nation you think will get the most gold medals. As you can see, odds vary from one bookie to the next, which is why shopping around for the best price is a must.

Most Medals Odds
This market is about total medals of gold, silver and bronze. While some nations are are predicted to do well in both gold and all medals there will be some differences. Some countries will excel at one sport and be able to pick up a lot of medals due to larger teams in that event, even if they aren’t gold.

Individual Sports Betting Markets
Another option, as well as just backing medal tallies, is to back Australia in individual sports. These markets will be priced up close to the start of the Games but give the chance to wager on a country that will top the podium in certain sports or even just certain events.
For example, there will be a market to back Australia to get the most medals in swimming, but also the opportunity of backing them to win gold in the 100m freestyle or other event as well.
Whereas medal tally odds can be found in separate Olympic betting sections of online bookmakers, these individual event odds may also be listed in the outright betting sections of the sports they relate to.
Swimming to be the Australian Strength Again?
Most of the medals won by Australia at the Olympics have come from the pool. This makes swimming Australia’s best sport of the Games. Out of a total of 167 golds for Australia, 71 of those medals have come from swimming.
Australia is the second-most successful nation in Olympic swimming behind the USA and this looks to be another source of success in Paris in 2024. Emma McKeon – Australia’s most decorated Olympic swimmer – returns in the 100m butterfly and team replay events.
Others to look out for are 50m and 100m freestyle swimmer Shayna Jack on her Olympic debut, Ariarne Titmus, who set a 200m freestyle world record at the trials, plus Kyle Chalmers, Kaylee McKeown, and Mollie O’Callaghan.
